To make a long story short, I’m going to be a bridesmaid in my brothers wedding and his fiancee wants me to take out my eyebrow ring (barbell). By that time I will have had it for about 2.5 years. Aside from personal issues about trying to control what someone else does to their body for the sake of pictures, I’m wondering what the odds of it closing up over the course of the day are? Thanks!
Damn brides and their Bridezilla ways…Hence why when I get married it’s going to be in Vegas, with Elvis as the “priest” and only with a small select group of people…But that’s probably why I’ll never get married…Oh well…
One thing you can do is take the eyebrow piercing out right before you have to do your wedding obligations,etc. Or another option is finding a quartz retainer to wear which virtually makes it impossible to notice if you have a piercing in or not,etc.
Perhaps you can talk the bride into going for the quartz retainer. If not just take the piercing out right before the wedding obligations and during the reception,etc (post-wedding ceremony) maybe you can just try to slide the jewelry in for some time to make sure the pathway hasn’t tightened up,etc. If it doesn’t fit, don’t force it, and simply visit a professional studio and have them taper the pathway back open to the size of your jewelry.

You just described my dream wedding Warren.

Warren Hiller on July 6th, 2008 at 12:08 amI had my eyebrow pierced for about two year when i had to start removing it for work. I understand everyone is different, but I could leave mine out for eight hour shifts and it would slide right back in. Hopefully you have no problems.
Sean on July 6th, 2008 at 12:47 amI had my eyebrow ring for 4 years and finally decided to retire it. 48 hours after taking the barbell out I wanted to see if it would go back in. It went in without a problem what-so-ever. After that I left the barbell out for a week and a half and tried to put the ring back in. By then it was closed.
Oh and come to think of it when my eyebrow piercing was 3 years old, I had to have surgery and had to take out all my piercings. I put all my jewelry back in about 22 hours after the surgery. My eyebrow ring slid in just fine.
I would think 24 hours or less shouldn’t be too much of an issue. Just wear the jewelry until the very last minute and hopefully everything will go smoothly.
